Probably been done to death…..Why are planes and helicopters so hard to fly, you can say it takes skill but I don’t buy that at all, I can watch players take crash time after time and even the ones flying mostly have no flight brain as we call it. Sorry I fly!
Battlefield Vet, had it spot on when the game came out I thought oh dear lord but after a week I knew the flight dynamics and could express myself in flight. If I wanted to have a challenging flight on a PC I load up Flight X not PR. Smooth flight and able do your job in game was easy and dare I say it fun.
The controls in PR are over compensated and at best described as twitchy. I have no flight time in Jets or Helicopters but they feel all wrong to me. Thrust or Collective is not detailed enough for the flight model, its all or nothing no feathering!
One thing for sure in my mind it’s certainly not Reality, not even close in my book. Hat off to those using Planes and Heli’s in game, the time taken to learn the flight model must be frightening and the amount of death you’ve went through to achieve adequate game technique.
I was trying to take off in a jet last night only to find the runway had a lovely fence at the end and only afterburner would give me my Vlof or even V1 or even V2 to climb.
I know its only flight expressed in a game with limited scope with controls and airspace that’s not even touching real life so I’d go with the lets make it available and fun and keep it as it was and worked best basic and smooth.
